I've been eating at this restaurant over the past several years. Every time I've come back the food is just as good if not even better. The owner and manager of the restaurant is absolutely wonderful. The staff have been very nice and the quality of the food has only improved over the years. If you're into American style food such as burgers fries hot dogs Gyros and many others, this is definitely a place worth eating at. Also their shakes are great. It may be a small little place but it's definitely worth the visit over and over again. read more

Typical hot dog / hamburger / pita place. I wanted to love it, but I didn't. I got the gyro sandwich and while I liked the meat - there was barely (and I mean barely) any sauce on it and the pita was a tad stale / hard. My husband got the chicken kabob sandwich and loved it. The sauce was coming out of his sandwich - very unlike mine. read more

Finally made my way in for a beef hot dipped. I forgot how good they are, and a terrific price. Under $20 as a meal with a cup of cheese. Their cheese is better than most. Just the right amount of heat from the giardiniera. There's the slightest tingling of the lips. Service is prompt and polite. Cozy benches and a bright dining room, good for groups. They had F1 Ford vs Ferrari on the TV. read more

I heard the Greek Salad here was great so we visited. $10 for a decent sized bowl of greens with big cubes of Feta (wish they would have crumbled them), lots of olives and anchovies. It was eh, just okay. Hubbie ordered the ribeye steak sandwich. Good bread. It was a delicious sandwich but not worth $18. That was the cost was for the sandwich only... No fries or drink. Other things to note. You order at a counter, take a seat, and pick up the food when your number is called. No servers... Although when you pay, you will be ask if you want to tip. Would we come again? Maybe if we were in the neighborhood... And we'd try something other than the ribeye sandwich or Greek salad. read more

I'm from out of town and went there on a recommendation. I started my order with a small Greek salad. The bald man said we don't have a small Greek salad. I mentioned that it's on the menu and he said you have to order the whole dinner. I just want to say how ridiculous that is. I was also going to order other things. But I walked away and went to another Greek place that was close by where I got my small Greek salad, delicious roasted potatoes and souvlaki. I have now recommended that place to my friends. The bald man has no smile, no personality, or maybe that's reserved for regulars! read more

The variety of menu items is vast; from the gyros, salads, and sandwiches and everything we tried was spot on tasty. The service was prompted but lacked any personify. The restaurant was clean with a TV blaring. The food was tasty and we will come back! read more

John (owner) and his staff are friendly and serve tasty food. The beef/sausage condo and gyros (w/ tzatziki, onions and tomato) are my 'go to' foods. Soups, fries, and other side foods are tasty as well. Nice assortment of daily specials along w/ a good variety of other foods and drinks. Given the economy and price pressure on food- the Eagle serves great food at fair prices in a clean and friendly atmosphere. Thx, John read more

Stopped in for a simple hot dog and fries, the hot dog wasn't warm and was rubbery, bun was on the cusp of being stale and definitely not a steamed bun. Fries were decent. Overall a terrible hot dog and they are supposedly in the Vienna Hot Dog hall of fame!?!? Whaat? $15 for two hot dogs and a small fountain drink also. No thank you. I was in there at noon. What should've been a lunch hour rush and I was the only one in the restaurant should've been a sign , should've left. read more

Excellent food. The Italian beef sandwich Is home made and delicious!!!!!! Happened to stop in while working and am glad I did. Portions are a good size and you get your money's worth. read more

The place may look like an unassuming local hot dog place. Oh No, this is Restaurant Royalty. This is Lee's Son's place. Yeah, that Lee. Lee's Country Kitchen, Prospect Street Clarendon Hills, IL It makes me feel good to walk into this place. Not fancy but good. You will get fed, and be treated well. I'll probably stop by today. read more

I've tried the Chicken Parmesan sandwich and Ribeye steak sandwich and both were okay but I will only order the Gyros sandwich from now on. The service is great and the place is cozy, and my 4-stars is strictly for the Gyros sandwich, fries, and garden salad with Greek dressing. read more

Eagle Restaurant - Gyros Platter Dinner with soup - American Near Me - Downers Grove, Illinois

Best gyros hands down!!! Pita bread is soft, the gyros meat is tasty, the usual tomato, onions and tzatziki sauce!

Solid consistent neighborhood spot! Friendly service and tasty eats. I've tried a variety of items on the menu and have not been disappointed. Soups are flavorful and hearty. Kabobs are flavorful, beef is tasty, pizza puff is always fried well. Fries are always awesome! Crisp and addictive! Great for a quick meal, ample parking in the lot and when I call ahead my order is always ready when they say it will be. read more

Eagle is the best. Their gyros are fire, love pizza puffs with ranch, the fries are great, lentil soup is amazing. 10/10.

Hands down the best gyro around . Food is always phenomenal. Customer service is friendly and attentive .

The food is decent good burger and Polish had vegetable soup was ok not a lot of flavor and who puts penne pasta in vegetable soup

I just had the best chicken kabob platter I've ever had here. Delicious tender chicken with onions and green pepper. This place is a neighborhood favorite of ours. They make a great cheeseburger, too. We usually phone in our order and pick it up--they're always fast. read more

Eagle restaurant is a Nice place with a pleasant & friendly staff. There is plenty of parking with adequate space between cars. The inside is Well kept with plenty of seats.

Excellent gyros sandwiches and love the friendly service! The owner is always very accommodating !

Fantastic food, the service is prompt and there's no BS. Excellent place to go if you want good, authentic Chicago food from a proper local establishment. read more

Even the milkshake was eh. The jalapeño poppers weren't terrible? Why does this review have to be 85 characters.

I saw a post on Facebook about Eagle Restaurant, and it intrigued me. So I downloaded their menu and checked it out. It looked to me a good place to get a burger and some soup. Me and the missus headed over for lunch. At first glance, it looked like your typical mom & pop eatery. But that's where the similarity ends. You are greeted by a friendly staff member, and gave a recommendation for the soup. But of course, we wanted some, for it was my wife's favorite: cream of chicken rice. And we both had the bacon cheeseburger, fries, and soda pop. The soup was really tasty, just as a cream of chicken rice soup should be. Our burgers and fries were served on real plates, now that's real class. And I noticed someone else had a salad and it was served in a real bowl. The bacon cheeseburger was tasty. Meaty, fresh garnish, crispy bacon. On a fresh bun. The fries were cut with the skins on, and cooked to a perfect crispy crunch. This place is overall a great homey eatery with quality, delicious food, and a classy presentation. I recommend you give it a try. read more

This place is within walking distance of my home, so it's a good thing I like it. LOL Their gyro meat is amazing and that is pretty much what I have each time I am there. My husband is a little more adventurous and he has tried most everything they offer and has yet to find anything that is "bad". The place seems to always be clean, even when they are really busy. The staff does a great job of staying on top of their cleaning. I adore that the TV is always on and usually on a spots program, sometimes baseball, sometimes football and occasionally wrestling. Definitely casual dining. Their only draw back is it's a Pepsi shop and I am a Coke person, but I have taken to drinking other options than my usual Diet Pepsi. Prices are decent and lots of free & handy parking in their private lot. Bonus! read more

They have the best Chicago dog I've had yet. The relish is perfect, not sweet like Portillos. Their fries are skinny, which aren't my fave, but as skinny fries go they're excellent. Customer service is great. The man behind me in line wasn't wearing a mask, they provided him one in a friendly but firm manner. I was pleased with how professionally it was handled. read more

Friendly staff and reasonably priced fast food. I had a gyros sandwich combo which included fries and a drink. Everything tasted fresh. The dining area was well maintained and clean. read more

Just recently moved to Downers Grove from Chicago and everything we've eaten from Eagle Restaurant has been phenomenal...the burger, the gyro, cheese fries, beef. Not surprised that it's been in business for 40 years! Love it! read more

As my favorite Gyros joint closed down this last spring - I have been in search of a new one. Finally after going from west Chicago to Darien - I have found a new favorite. The pita was stacked high with meat the tzatziki was tasty and not runny - full of garlic and cucumber flavor. In addition - the price makes me feel pre inflation. Serious food value per dollar on every menu item. Definitely worth a try. read more

First time ordering from Eagle. They are obviously a small business to support! They've been on the corner of Fairview and Maple for as long as we've lived nearby (20 years!--maybe?) but we just didn't utilize them! Had giros sandwiches and fried grooms and all were tasty! Fast turnaround when calling--10 minutes! When I ordered Baklava I was sadly told "we don't have Baklava anymore" ... "No?" "No, not for awhile now " which made me ask "why?" "Because my mom just didn't want to make it anymore " that was heartbreaking and sweet. Go Eagle! read more

Wow! I can't believe I never reviewed Eagle Restaurant considering my father introduced me to this place over 19 years ago. I was the 2 Hot Dog special with fries kind of kid growing up and that special is still around today. Burgers are phenomenal and off the char-broiler the way they should be. Homemade sweet peppers is a must when ordering their homemade Italian Beef. I have been here in the mornings when the homemade soup's aroma fills the place...yummy! If you spend $5 or more on a sandwich you can order a beer for $1.99 on draft. As most of the reviewers have mentioned, this is a very clean establishment. read more

This place is an okay spot for lunch. A little pricey, good, fresh, hot food, but I didn't feel it was anything special. The Eagle serves your typical Greek lunch items, gyros, pitas, etc., and also has hotdogs/hamburgers. There are many of these kinds of joints around the Chicagoland area, and especially in the Western Suburbs. I got the chicken pita and fries which was about $8. The pita came with lettuce and tomato. There was a decent amount of chicken, but it was so dry! It was like something my sister left in the oven too long! The fries were pretty disappointing; there were skinny and not much flavor to them. I prefer the fat cut fresh steak fries that you get at some of the other Greek grills. Overall, I felt I paid too much for food that was unimpressive, and I wished I would have just eaten at home. read more

I have eaten at the Eagle several times and have never had bad service or bad a bad meal. The recently renovated bathrooms, dining area, and outside parking area give the Eagle a classier look as compared to many similar establishments. The new sign on the building gives it a more established feel as opposed to the old sign which has been removed. One of the daily specials today was the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich with homemade soup for $5.69. The BPT sandwich was good but not enough to make it one of my "definitely get it" recommendations. Although the vegetable soup was a little spicier than I would expect, it was delicious and had the perfect amount of vegetables to liquid ratio for those who prefer their soup to have more than just water (as I do). I definitely recommend it. On previous visits I have enjoyed the Vienna beef hot dogs with NO KETCHUP and all the good stuff. The polish sausage has been good as well. They offer a good mix of choices on the menu as well as catering which you can check out here http://www.eaglerestaurantdg.com/index.html or here https://www.facebook.com/EagleRestaurant/app_157563764278358 . The TV was located so that it could be viewed in the main dining area, but other seating is available including a small outside patio area (in season) for a quieter ambiance. The location and parking are excellent for commuters whether traveling by foot, bicycle, auto, or train. It is in an easily accessed area at Maple Avenue and Fairview Avenue near the Fairview Avenue METRA stop. I have recommended the Eagle to family/friends. If the Eagle were to have a specialty sandwich (or other item) that made it stand out from similar places, I would consider giving it a higher recommendation. Check my recent photos! read more

Moved to Westmont the beginning of the year from Chicago and is one of the few places that has consistently not let me down. Recommend the beef, workers are very friendly read more

Great place for a quick meal. My family has been going to Eagle since it was a gas station.

Never disappoints. If you want that Chicago real dog, real Italian beef, real gyros type food, this is the place. The food is always hot and fresh with no microwave in sight. They newly remodeled the inside and added an outside patio that makes it not just a carry out type restaurant. read more

Yummo delicious food first time ever. Gyro was pretty darn good! Definitely will order again from here!

Just tried this place last week and immediately wanted to come back. The owner is a super friendly guy and the food is outrageously good. Best burger in town, and awesome gyros. The owner is very generous he gave me a free drink with the yellow coupon even though he wasn't approving of the coupon being on Yelp. If you want good grilled food and decent prices this place is excellent. read more

This is the best Vienna Beef spot in the state. I have been going here my whole life (20 plus years) and this food is the most authentic I've ever had, and I've been all over. Johnny is amazing and takes care of his customers. Highly recommend. read more

Clean facility but the food is over priced frozen food that someone else is preparing for you. It is very much like the food you could get at a bowling ally or roller skating rink. I don't understand who likes to pay for this type of generic food. If I want a burger and fries with taste, I will go to 5 Guys and pay 30% less. read more
